Sometimes, it takes videos like this to remind me my life is not hard. I don't face even 1% of the struggles these kids go through every single day. It is just my incapability that I am not disciplined enough to achieve what I want.

WE NEED THEATRICAL RELEASE FOR TYBW COUR 4 IN INDIA AS WELL , NO MATTER WHAT .. THERES A HUGE FANBASE HERE SO U GOTTA DO IT @VIZMedia ( everyone should make posts like dis , we gotta get it istg )
You can always 'why use X' any library… but once you need interceptors, cancellation, progress tracking, better error handling, and timeouts without writing it all yourself, Axios becomes really nice.
Never gave me a bad gut feeling like some other libs do. For anything beyond basic requests, it just saves so much hassle.
@_trish_xD C++.
I find it really funny because I only learned it for learning data structures and algorithms. I have never actually built anything using it.
@TheGingerBill@ThePrimeagen But now I think I’ll at least think twice and read dependencies more. A little manual dependency management won’t hurt.
Btw the original article is

When I was learning JavaScript for web development, I used to feel like why it has so many packages and dependencies for everything.
Why basic things are not built in, and why we need to depend on so many external tools or 3rd party libraries.
@TheGingerBill@ThePrimeagen Even though I still use package managers a lot (like dnf on Fedora), I cannot imagine using rpm and managing everything myself, it would be too tedious, though a good learning exercise.
A. Rishi Kumar, a final-year student of Tamil Nadu National Law University (TNNLU), did not bow to pressure from the University to delete the article, titled “The Supreme Court of India has no Spine”. Here he criticised the Supreme Court’s ban on a Class 8 NCERT civics textbook and its decision to blacklist its authors for their mention of judicial corruption.
He wrote "The Court has decided, in its grand old wisdom, that eighth graders, who are doing algebra and learning refractions, are simply too dumb to handle a basic civics chapter that spends fourteen pages praising the judiciary and two paragraphs acknowledging its flaws."
My respect to Rishi. You are awesome!
Anyone want to read the article, ask me in comments - I shall provide you the link.
You can’t buy Linux. It’s free. Always has been. So IBM did the next best thing: it spent $34 billion buying Red Hat, a company whose entire business is selling tech support for this free software. Largest software acquisition in history. For support contracts on something anyone can download for $0.
The “side project” story, while true, is maybe 5% of what actually happened since.
Linux itself is managed by a nonprofit, the Linux Foundation. That nonprofit pulled in $311 million last year. Only $8.4 million of that (2.6%) actually went to Linux itself. The rest of the funds support ~1,500 other open source projects, events, and training. Every Fortune 100 tech company is a paying member.
And here’s who actually builds this “free” software now: 84% of the code changes to Linux in 2025 come from developers on corporate payroll. Intel is the biggest contributor. Google is second. Huawei, Oracle, AMD, and Meta all have engineers writing Linux code full-time. Over 1,780 companies pay people to work on it. The solo genius in a dorm room stopped being the real story around 1998.
The wildest part: over 65% of Microsoft’s cloud computers run Linux. Microsoft, the company whose former CEO once called Linux “a cancer,” now runs more Linux than Windows on its own servers. Amazon and Google’s clouds are even higher, both above 90%.
A 2024 Harvard Business School study attempted to calculate how much companies would spend if all free, open-source software vanished tomorrow. The answer: $8.8 trillion more per year. 3.5x what they currently spend. And that number didn’t even include operating systems like Linux.
Linus Torvalds still personally approves every major code change. He makes about $1.5 million a year. He also built Git, the tool that powers GitHub (which Microsoft bought for $7.5 billion). Two pieces of software the entire tech industry runs on, same guy.
Linux started as 10,239 lines of code. It’s now over 40 million. Every one of the world’s 500 fastest supercomputers runs it. 96% of the top million websites sit on it. Every Android phone has Linux inside it. That’s roughly 3 billion devices in people’s pockets.
It’s the largest collaborative engineering project in human history, free to use, funded by the same corporations it was supposed to replace.
One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 author “ONE” has released a statement following the child sexual abuse scandal involving Daten Sakusen mangaka Shouichi Yamamoto:
“I will not team up with people who cannot clearly take a strong stance condemning sexual abuse of minors. That should be obvious. I will wait for the parties involved to disclose the details. As for Shogakukan, if they take such action, I would like them to support it.”
One Punch Man illustrator Yusuke Murata has also retweeted ONE’s post.
